Blah blah blah…
Nothing new to report. Exciting huh? I’ve been biking- put in 240 miles last week- and looking for a similar number this week as well as trying to add 10 miles or so of running. I’ve decided to not wrap my calf anymore since if anything, the wrapping is probably making it weaker/creating an imbalance and just prolonging the inevitable. I was able to run 5 miles over the weekend without pain but I did still feel some tightness.
I trying to decide if I want to do PDR this year. I’d have to ramp up my running pretty quickly in the next few weeks to get ready for it and I just know it’s going to cause more problems. I also have a duathlon that I’m signed up for the week before and I will be focusing my training that one, since all the other Du’s I planned for seem to be falling through. I don’t think they limit PDR entries so it may be a decision I make that week.
Finally, I’m fat! Damn, I packed on some weight in the last 3 weeks. It’s my fault, I’ve been eating shitty and drinking way too much (damn summer parties). With the lack of training, it’s messing me up bad. I’m back up to 165+, which sucks but it’s not insurmountable. I’m back to a full training schedule (even if it is mostly biking) so I think it’ll start to level out and drop.
That’s all the whining I have for today, more to come soon I’m sure!
